A nameless model is third in the world and may belong to MiniMax.
A model called Space Bunny Alpha appeared on the router OpenRouter on 23 September with no owner named. It burned 13.9 trillion tokens last week, third most of any model, and nobody has claimed it. Testers say it splits text exactly like MiniMax across 50 samples, but the lab confirms nothing.
Why it mattersLabs now test flagship models in the open under invented names before admitting who built them. Treat the usage ranking as measured and the owner as a guess until someone signs for it.
